Wright and Cooper OWN This..

[Gatefan1976]

I'll try to put my *cough* talent for succinctness to the test and just say:

Wright and Cooper OWN this.. ALL of this.. It does not matter who they listened to, or who they should have listened to, or who they didn't listen to. ULTIMATELY, they are responsible for SGU and whatever effects will be visited upon the SG franchise.

The only question that remains in my mind is: Will they man up and take responsibility for their actions and/or inactions?

Man up, err, not ******** likely. fans have been asking them for 2 years just to say who is responsible for cancelling SGA so at least they knew who to hold responsible. Can't see that happening ever, can you??
Honestly, (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) The female fans of the franchise have got more nuts than TPTB.

I really dont think they will own up to it at all.

I really dont think they will, Sabella. The only one who has done the right thing is Cooper, by leaving. But if he was ASKED to leave by TPTB, then he may have just been the one to take the fall for the epic fail of season 1. Wright is still defensive, and Mallozzi seems to be just along for the ride and the perks. The newbie writers are just emergency measures (which come too late), and the new actors cost money which is already spent. So, advertising dollars and promotional items and DVDs need to be paid for along with salary. Wright should step down like Cooper did. If they were bored with SG-1/Atlantis type writing, then they should have left. But they DO own this pile of poo, THEY fractured the fandom by destroying the heart of the franchise with this show.

But the better show is watching it fall!

you know in my neighborhood if your dog poops on someone else's lawn you need to clean it up (homeowner's association rules) ...well is someone going to make Cooper and Wright clean up this mess!?!?!?!?!?!? HMMMMMMMMM????

Let's face it.

They have shown some serious talent writing wise in the past.

But...

Wright's reaction to SaveDrJackson.com (saying there were death threats at the time, huh, that reminds me of something similar) and the trashing the Chicago critic gave SGU show that Wright is mentally 7 years old. We've all seen this. It's the kind of kid that, when things don't go their way, throw their toys out of the pram. He stills throws hissy fits despite being on SG for 13 years when showbiz doesn't have those kind of deals and job durability that often. Or maybe he throws hissy fits BECAUSE he's been on the job so long and feels entitled? That could change, you know.

Cooper has always been the quieter one (interviews wise) but he has a gigantic problem: apparently SGU's idea came from him. What was once a joke in SG-1's '200' is now the sole reality of the SG franchise. Add to that that he either bailed the sinking ship or was fired for sinking the ship (they didn't make this clear).

They also haven't made clear what the **** happened exactly with SGA (and the same goes for Liar liar pugs on fire). Wright has said that it was the ratings but now SGU has worse ratings with a bigger budget. Maybe he should also get the boot? After Seinfeld introduced the 'show about nothing', Wright et al introduce the 'show that canceled itself'.

Simply put, taking responsibility isn't something they have shown to be capable of. Maybe they'll surprise us. Maybe Mozz will stop being a douchebag. Maybe Cooper will glue a rug on his head and join WitSec. Maybe Wright will stop feeding his actors bullshit on how they want more people than those who watched SGA and maybe he'll just settle if the hardcore fans will simply watch the show? Oh wait, he did that one already. These are desperate times.

As far as I'm concerned, SGU came about because Battlestar was ending, and they (SciFi) wanted another show with boobs and soap.

Thus they went to Malvolio...er...Mallozi...for "ideas" that probably had a check list.

Boobies -- CHECK!
Sex--CHECK!
Dark Character With Questionable Motives--CHECK!
Something that will combine our most popular shows--CHECK!
